This Cavit Lunetta Prosecco comes from the Trentino region of Northeast Italy. Like Cava from Spain, Italian Prosecco is a budget option to French Champagne.

This particular Prosecco is the sweetest of the four mini bottles of sparkling wine I reviewed in this series. The first thing I noticed about it was all the bubbles – it had far more bubbles than the Cava or French sparkler I reviewed, and they lasted forever! It has sweet scents of honey and tropical melon that could pass for a jolly rancher. The flavors are slightly sweet tropical flavors with a stale/yeasty aftertaste that doesn’t merge well with the sweet fruit flavors. It has low acidity, light body (11% alcohol), and a short finish. It was the fruitiest of the four wines I reviewed, and better than the Sofia in a can, but not as good as the Cava or French sparkler (although fruitier than both).
